Dr. Mary Taylor Bissell, sister of the

that the i'll health of women is natural
that they are the victims of functions
whose exercise necessarily constitutes a
sort of invalidism. The girls entering will
be treated according to bio Lewis old
theory that the microscopic misses who
swarm about our schools and chatter in
our streets are the curiosities of high
civilization" and that womel who give
free play to their lungs and stomachs
ought to grow nearly as large as men.
All pupils in this school of the future,
which may be school of the present within
a year, will be subjected to daily regimen
with carefully-apportioned exercise, with
4 view of determining the possibility of
improving their bodies as the bodies of
young men are improved in the German
gylnnasia. A full curriculum of studies,
probably of the academic or college pre-
paratorv grade, will be, it is thoug ht,
adopted covering four years time. Some
restriction as to dress it is proposed to
adopt, not amounting to uniform, but MAX

their gymnasium dress. Pupils will be
measured on entering, and an average gain
of two and half inches about the chest,

\ nsw gunboat, built for the Russian
Government at Copenhagen, has arrived at
Cronstadt, and has been visited and in
spected by the Gar himself, who crossed
over in his yacht from Peterhol, the
present domiciIe of the imperial family.
The vessel, which has been named the
Manchuria, has been constructed of steel,
at a cost of e55,000. The following are
the principal dimensions: Length, 30
feet; beam, 80 feet; displacement, 1000
tons; draught, fore, without artillery and
war material, 10 feet inches; aft, 10 feet
7 inches. The boat has two engines, with
an indicated power of 7,000-horse- power
each. They con without any particular
strain develop speed of more than IS
knots. The armament of the Manchuria
will consist of two S-inch long-range guns
in the stern, six Hotchkiss, one Baranov-
sky and four 9-pounder guns. The bottom
of the boat is divided into - water-tight
compartments, and the hold is amply pro-
tected by ii air-tight partitions. More
oveean apparatus for eiecting Whitehead
torpedoes wall be placed in the vessels

the run from Copenhagen to Cronstadt was
III knots. The new gunboat is destined

lea Caves.

]. II. Mayfeld furnishes us with infor-
nation concerning an ice cave in the south
eastern corner of this county, as follows
The cave was discovered by Mr.. Mayfeld
about fourteen years ago, while hunting for
some Of his cattle which had strayed away
from the band About eighteen months
ago he returned from southern Oregon and
settled at the cave, where he proposes to
erect, in the near future, fine slate-stone
hotel, provided the slate of that section
works to a good advantage. There are
three caves connected by apertures leading
from one to the other. The first is about
thirty feet wide and forty feet long; the
second is somewhat smaller, and the third
little smaller than the second. At any
time during the hottest and most sultry
weather there is probably never less than
one hundred tons of natural ice in sight.
The cave is situated only about forty-five
miles east of. Sisson, and in the lava beds
of historical renown. Mr.. Mayfeld has
constructed wagon road through the lava
beds, distance of about twelve miles, at a
cost of about $4,000. During the great
Modoc war the ablest and best experts esti-
mated the cost at from S250,000 to $780,
600 Mr.. Mavtield attributes his finding
of the pass through the beds to the instinct
of his lost cattle, which he found there
fourteen years ago. These ice caves are a
freak Of nature seldom found, and we be-

MISTAKES OF iFAsHIoN.-One of the
great mistakes of the present day is the
paucity of under clothing that women of
fashion indulge in; it is laying the seeds of
many illnesses Some have DOTTED petit
coats of any kind, and are content with
combinations and dresses; it is neither
seemly nor good for health. Running into
extremes would seem to be characteristic
of womankind. Some years ago they were
over-weighted with clothing, which, COM
ing mostly from the hips, was in every way
deleterious; now they run SO much into
the contrary extreme that, unless the folly
is nipped in the bud. diseases of the lungs,
rheumatism, and a long train of evils will
run rampant. The disciples of wooden
clothing would have nothing else worn 4;
but some capital elastic vests have been
brought out in thread, which are quite
worth thinking about.-CasseiFs Family

\ CONTRAST IN TREATMENT.-While
the Queen has extended her clemency to
deserters and blackguards in order to mark
her jubilee, the well-behaved soldier will
only remember that event by extra hard
work, poorer rations and an enforced
contribution. On jubilee day, for instance,
there was :. grand review on Southsea
Common. The troops were between four
and five hours in the blazing sun, and on
returning to the barracks the mounted
men spent the afternoon in the stables. All
the troops in garrison, instead Of enjoying
special allowances, were served with timed
preserved or bully" beef which is not
particularly palatable; and in the same
way the Queens birthday after trying
review was signalized. This treatment OF
the good and steady men presents strik-
ing contrast to the Queens pardon and free
kit to the worthless fellows who desert
from one regiment to another, and it has
caused much bad feeling among the troops.

Among his audience was Henry Phipps, of

expressed himself as being much inter-
ested in what Mr.. Brashear told him IN
regard to this particular meteoric find.
He asked the latter if it would be posi-
bic TO get specimen of the mass for his
private cabinet. Mr. Brashear answered
that it would, but lit would come high"
at the same time giving Mr.. Phipps the
address of the parties who might be able to
furnish the rare specimen. Professor
Brashear thought no more of it for some
time, until there came to him one day a
carefully wrapped package and letter from
Mr.. Phipps. 1t was three-pound piece
of the Mexican mass, and the latter in
formed Mr.. Brashear that if he could cut
it in two he csuld keep half. The opera
ton was successfully performed, and the
